Minglebox shamelessly spam in their competitor's site. However, it seems to be working, yesterday's alexa rank was 8000+, they ranked 148 in India. I haven't seen any of their ads in TV or print. Did they get all the traffic because of the spam?! I doubt it. If the spam contributed traffic, that's a bad news. Many other web companies will try to copy that model, we are in trouble! BTW, fropper's alexa rank is 9000+. So, minglebox is better than fropper in terms of alexa ranking, at least for today. Fropper ran ads even in HBO. How it's possible for minglebox to beat Fropper?!

Sad, but true. At the end, the spamming did get them the result they wanted, you can see the increase in traffic after that spike.
